I'm on the latest beta version, just was curious about the discrepancy? 8.15 != 41.32. If it helps, the app force closed after hitting the clear cache button in AC settings menu, but was successful in resetting both numbers. ﻿

I'm just curious. Does the Android Central App regularly clean up its cache? My poor S2 can't keep up memory wise and I noticed I always need to clear out the 150+mb of cache before I can update about of my apps (yes, I am that pressed for memory). It's not a complaint, just am curious.

I know that there is the convenient button in the settings menu to clear the cache, but I was wondering how hard it might be too have an option to have the app automatically clear the cache for stories older than a week. Again, not a demand. Just a curious suggestion. ﻿

Bugfixes mostly, but also adds a new icon on top of images to denote photo galleries. And we've added a "Clear cache" button in the settings, for the times that you want to clear your cache.﻿

Greetings, everyone! We're pushing out a new beta build this morning — it should be live in a couple hours — for you fine folks to take a look at.

The good news: Squashed some more good bugs. Changelog is below.

The gooder/"seriously what's taking so long" news: We're starting the groundwork on a larger redesign, given the changing state of Android in Lollipop. We've decided to roll the notifications (which, yes, have been in the works forever) into that release, since notifications have changed a good bit in Android 5.0. We'd rather just get it right the first time. And we're still working on the back-end search stuff, which has to be done first before we get anywhere near the app.

So, yeah. The most sought-after features aren't ready yet. But rest assured we're working on them.

In the meantime, here's what's new in this build. Do note that you'll need to manually update since we have to add a new permission for the ComScore analytics.

Hey, folks! We're back in action. Coming up in v1.6, which should be available later this morning:

★ Adds deep linking support for our forums. ★Updates Flurry and Quantcast analytics to conform with Google's new ID policies. (Details: http://phon.es/audq) This requires the addition of the ACCESS_WIFI_STATE permission. So we added it. (Update: See more on this in the comments below.)★Other various bugfixes.

We know everybody is still asking about Search, and rightfully so. That's not as simple as just adding a search box, but we're absolutely working on it. Remember that any sort of search we implement will need to work across all our sites, and on multiple platforms, so we're exploring our options there. These things just take time, and we thank you for your patience.

App feature request:The ability to bookmark stories. With the recent addition of the deals of the day and other stories that will update throughout the day, it would be nice to be able to bookmark them for quick reference later in the day. On a busy day those type of stories can get lost in the shuffle. ﻿

I've been having an issue. When I click on a external link, the app opens it in the Android "Browser" app instead of Chrome which is set as my default. This is on a Sprint Galaxy Nexus running Cyanogenmod 11 nightlies (4.4).﻿
